Magical Moments

Is magic out there ?
Sure it is .
Not just in ghosts n witches,
Or myths or superstitions .
But in the tiny seconds
When Your heart skips a beat
In the smile of a child
Vistas of the world
A dew drop on a petal
An oasis in a desert
A twinkling smile
Two hearts beating as one
A gentle touch, a strong shoulder
A vivid rainbow, of colors or feelings
Words unsaid that mean much more
Answers found by a lost soul
All sights to behold
Till there are moments
That touch our very core
There is magic all around ...
For what we don't know for sure
We let our imaginations run wild
Hoping against hope of the truth or falsity
And there will possibilities divine
Of miscellaneous adventures to unfold ...

Rationalizing My Birthday Glee ... :D

The smiles, the tears,
The lessons, the fears,
The love, the friendships,
The new, the hardships,
All wrapped into a a day to reminisce and rejoice !
To be thankful to God and hear His Voice.
In every day miracles, caring of people close,
In fond memories that time has froze,
In the beautiful sights,
Beyond all divides ...

This is not just another day,
It's a milestone in life's way..
Marking the journey ,
That one We are on daily.
Changing the mundane into cheer,
Wishes from all those far and near,
Gifts of love, gifts of kind,
Endowments of blessings divine,
Bringing sweetness in all fashions,
A vivid rainbow of emotions.

Elation grows as the day grows,
With the anticipation that flow,
Another year of fresh memories & hope,
Novel,exciting challenges to cope,
Another year to grow,
new wishes to sow,
Another chance,
To hum to life's intricate motif,
With a little panache, a little mischief ...

With all that these 24 hours bring,
Isn't it natural to leap with a zing,
To be glad just to be alive,
For all that we have and for which we strive,
Through our travels through time and space,
Our Life , in our own ways commemorate ...

Magic of Dreams ....

Close your eyes take a ride,
Go beyond far and wide,
Troll the lands, take a leap,
Fly a while, go in deep...

For every thought that baffles your mind,
For every moment you cannot rewind,
Paint a canvas, change your world,
A few bold strokes, a mighty swirl ...

Where air is fire and sea is land,
No lost time, no urgent demands,
Only you, your thoughts, visions galore,
Venting fears and a few smiles more ...

Imagine tomorrow, make all wrongs right,
Believe in wishes with all your might,
For this is your cosmos, a journey of stars,
Reality means nothing, there are no wars ...

It's all yours to do what you will,
Turn and twist every little thrill ,
Find ways out for troubles that linger,
Pain goes away at the snap of a finger ...

A twitch, a fall, a random act,
All makes sense in this creation abstract,
You get lost, you find a way,
Blazing through the haze come what may ...

This universe exists for a few hours,
Like a parallel world which grants you all power,
Till dawn breaks and left only is a faint scent,
With renewed promise, into a fresh day you ascent ...

Cherish ...

Cherish each moment of love,
Those gone by will never return,
Soft gestures are an innocent dove,
Soaring through life's diverse turns..

Only to leave behind memories,
To be held onto and ponder over,
Like pictures from your history,
To be framed and gander over..

You may not know it now,
But you will soon,
Every smile is a blessing from above,
And every tear is in disguise a boon ..

For My friend whose down and out ...

When you're down and out,
When a tear falls at every sound,
Nothing seems to be going right,
No one understands your plight,
Life seems to muddled,
Where you're headed is a riddle,
Take a deep breath and stand back,
Prioritize your worries in your mental rack,
Look at it from a diff. point of view,
Start afresh & try solutions new,
All problems have an answer,
Have faith in God's wonders,
And above all remember I'm right here,
With a shoulder that's safe all year,
Together we can work on all your worries,
Smile reminiscing, turn them all blurry,
We've done it before we can do it again,
Hold our own till another dark tunnel's end...

In a Land of New Unknowns ...

Far from the place where I was born,
With a new home to call my own,
Fascinated with all things new,
Avenues so clean, the sky so blue.

Life here is so proper and prim,
Not a feature seems wrinkled grim,
Calmly everyone leads their own lives,
Sparkled with appliances, no comfort denied.

New experiences sprinkled around,
Where adventures at every turn can be found,
Laws are strict and rules are obeyed,
Things are sure different from where I've stayed.

But the roads are dark and lonely at night,
The quiet sure gives me a fright,
Familiar faces seem to be wary,
This misplaced mistrust is a query.

Compatriots pass by with their heads held low,
I wonder who they are, where they go,
Finding a friendly smile is a rare occasion,
Acquaintances are made only by association.

Often, I yearn for my old and playful life,
Filled with confidantes, music and delight,
Nothing is the same even there I'm sure,
Time has a way of turning things over.

Slowly yet surely, I'm finding my niche,
Seasons will change and I'll re discover bliss,
The one thing missing from a perfect existence,
A clique of friends to remove this social decadence.

For my Friend on Her Baby Shower

As we join to welcome this new addition,
Smilingly sending you off on your new mission.
Cute little fingers, cute little toes,
Will change you forever as the saying goes.
You'll be amazed at the joys abound,
Oohing and Aahing at every little sound.
As days pass by you will sigh,
Teaching your kid to say mom, dad, hello, hi.
Then one day you'll be trying very hard,
To get them to sit down and be smart.

You'll build memories happy and gay.
With all the new tasks that you will face,
Your family will grow bonds that time can't erase.

As you pass through parenthood's door.
May you be blessed with all Life's miracles,
Patience, Wisdom, Strength needed to reach pinnacles.
New experiences does this new bundle of joy bring,
Adding love and laughter to everything ...

Brave Little Girl !!

Lost in space,
Sleepy in the race,
Drowsy little eyes,
Sleep ; don't cry,
Wakes up when moved,
Surrounded by lots of " coochi choo ",
Suddenly left for a while,
With familiar strangers who giggle and smile,
She looks on with bravado,
Where else Could she go,
Observing, Assessing, Noticing small things,
Every wave and snap those large hands bring,
Wondering silently where Mumma is,
" Why did she leave me alone like this,
Maybe she's gone to do something special,
Till that time I'll just keep myself neutral,
Maybe these people aren't so bad after all,
She's left me safe with these strangers tall,
I miss her so but they'll take care of me,
Only till she comes back you see,
There she is ! Oh what a relief,
These last few moments were like an endless reef,
But then I knew she'd always comes back,
My tears just show my love for the words I lack .... "

Child

A child with an inquisitive mind,
Is like an endless ravine,
Hold it close and cherish it's words,
Consider no word absurd ,
For it is a person too,
With a heart that feels blue,
Remind it each day it's loved,
And everything it does brings repose,
Be kind, be sweet, say no profanity to admonish,
Respect it as it would your every wish,
A child is a hope for tomorrow,
A child is a dream with no sorrow,
They bring smiles all around,
It delights with every sound,
When they give so much more than get,
Wouldn't you want to never see their eyes wet ?!

Love is all there is...

Love is what makes my world go round,
It's presence is ever lasting and profound,
Just when I turned and found it gone,
I rediscovered it with the rising dawn,
Each time I fell and found a new shattered piece,
I held onto faith there had to be more to this,
Hope for a better tomorrow got me a shining today,
Love is all that I hoped and more in every way,
Had I not known what love is , I've learnt in time,
Through all my sadness I've found the divine.
